Some feature on your opener must have a switch that is stick in the closed (on) position. Possibly, you put a near dead battery into the device? Please check with a volt meter.

You could check the device with a volt/ohm meter in the circuit ... put the meter between the + post of the battery and the + contact of the device. Put a wire on the - battery and the - device to complete the circuit ... if you are using power, there should be some amp reading on the meter.

Remove the bulb from the socket and try. You may have arcing in the bulb or socket that is interfering with your receiver. Unplug the opener from the wall and use a small screwdriver to pull out on the center contact of the socket. Replace the bulb and plug in the opener.

Garage door won't open.

The most common cause of this problem is the door sensors have been bumped and misaligned. They each have a small light that should be lit and not flickering. Tweak them until they are pointed at one another and the lights are lit.
